"Stephen is a fantastic bird guide. I had very limited time to bird and was particularly interested in some of the more difficult species. He knew exactly where to go and was extremely knowledgable about bird habitats, behavior and vocalisations."Ron Lockwood, U.S.A. |

"A wonderful trip. Your precise knowledge about locations for specific birds was remarkable." K.B., India"The trip was as great as I hoped it would be. I'm off to Chile in December and if its half as good as my time in Spain, it will be a huge success." Chris Saunders, Canada"Stephen really knows his birds and the terrain, and the trip is rich on info from his experience. He is an amazing guide and will make you find amazing birds." Alex Vargas, Costa Rica/Thailand"We had a superb week. I would recommend anyone to contact Steve for a week or few days birding. His expertise and willingness to tailor the trip to individual needs will give a great experience." Jan Scheeres, Wales"From the first few minutes at Llobregat I knew it would be a great trip. I've got so many fantastic memories of amazing birds and I've really benefited from the time I've spent with you... your enthusiasm and breadth of experience are obvious. Amazing!" Declan Savage, Ireland"I would recommend your birding tours without hesitation." Andy Strouthous, UK |

A birding holiday or short break at any time of the year where you can bring non-birding friends and family with you!You can spend as many days as you like bird watching whilst they entertain themselves by the swimming pool, in the games room, on the beach or shopping and sightseeing in Barcelona.There's also a Universal family theme park nearby, tours of the local wine and cava vineyards and outdoor activities such as horse riding.Of course, with the spectacle of the Pyrenees on offer, there's always a chance they'll want to join us at the last minute. |

"We would thoroughly recommend your holidays to anyone.That morning on the Steppes was one of the best birding sessions we've ever had. So many excellent birds in such a short space of time was exhilarating. We really enjoyed your excellent company and hospitality and picnic lunches will never be the same again." David and Chris Evans"We were able to bird at a leisurely pace and Stephen ensured all the family were involved and entertained. His villa is an excellent base to combine a birding trip with a family holiday in Spain. We really loved the accommodation." David, Christine and Matthew (age 11) Spencer"Thank you so much for our holiday. We all enjoyed ourselves enormously and the range of birds we saw exceded my best hopes. We certainly picked the right person to lead us."David, Jenny and Peter Linstead""We had an excellent week with you and enjoyed looking at some great birds."Carol and Don Downie |

“I loved birding with Stephen. He knows his birds and where to find them. Great guide, friendly and flexible... and lots of birds!" Jory Langner, U.S.A."Excellent two days. It's very useful to travel with a knowledgeable birder who understands the natural history of the birds and their distribution when visiting new areas looking for specific species.” Brian Coleman, England“I can highly recommend both the tour and Stephen as a guide.” Matias, Finland"I didn't expect to see so many of the little brown jobs that are such as challenge for north american birders. Stephen not only knew all their calls and songs but had a knack for helping me see them well. I'm looking forward to a return visit." Elwood Hain, U.S.A. "Without your guidance I would have probably only found fifty percent of what was there. I certainly would not have got within three yards of a nightjar." Andy Strouthous, UK "A terrific day, made more enjoyable by the lovely friendly personality of Stephen. We were very impressed with his sharing of his extensive knowledge without us feeling inferior. If you want good birding contact him." Bill and Doreen Colvin, Ireland “Incredible trip - a great day from start to finish! We really appreciated your superb abilities. That day was the highlight of my trip to Barcelona.” Jan O’Brien, Canada"We were very impressed with you and your intimate knowledge of the birds and the surroundings and we hope that we can arrange something next year." Jeff Roffey, Mike Thompson, England |
